I need serious advice and opinions all are welcome to comment! So my daughters father lives in Texas while me & my daughter lives in Missouri. We met in college both were out of state students when I found out I was pregnant I moved back home while he stayed in school until he graduated. To make a long story short we tried to keep a relationship despite the distance , he barely made any effort to help support our daughter he made every excuse as to why he couldn’t come visit. I soon found out he was cheating while I was pregnant & after the baby came. So that really destroyed our relationship my daughter is 2 and we don’t get along at all. he’s extremely rude and disrespectful towards me , he still doesn’t support our daughter , outside of the $129 every 2 weeks he pays in child support. Which he complains about . He doesn’t visit , when he does see her I’ve always taken off work and traveled 13 hours by train to take her to see him. He goes literally 7-8 months at a time without seeing her. I do all the FaceTime calls , traveling etc while he sits back and lives his life with no worries. To get to the point he has parents that lives in New Orleans his dad financially helps to make up for what his son doesn’t do. Which I’m very grateful they’ve seen my daughter probably 3 times since she’s been here. They never came to visit but randomly planned a trip last month to come see her , they came and asked can she stay in there hotel room with them , I was ok with it. Her dad asked can he get her for the month of December so she can spend time with him and his family. I’ve never kept my baby from him or his parents again i make all the effort to keep them involved , she barely knows them outside of FaceTime so I really am iffy about letting her go out of state without me. He’s threatening to take me to court because I told him how i felt about her going out of town for so long and especially since he doesn’t come around often. And his dad is extremely pissed with me because I won’t let her go. I feel bad because i do want them to be involved but I personally don’t want my 2 year old traveling without me and especially with people she hasn’t really been around. What would you do if you were me? Am i being too controlling? Or too strict/overprotective? Please someone give me some advice !
